Actually, we have three separate problems:
1) HAVE_OPENSSL. Should be fixed, hopefully already done in HEAD, albeit
the cheating way.
2) The Arla developers don't use kaserver things, so it doesn't get tested
and thus tends to break.
3) kaserver uses an old, weak protocol, and the code hasn't been worked on
for ages. As you saw, the OpenAFS page makes a good argument for
deprecating it.
There are dependencies here, 3 leads to 2, and with milko currently not fit
for fight kalog is the only in-tree user of openssl and des.h is kalog
(IIRC).
In HEAD kalog is disabled unless one defines KASERVER_SUPPORT, but I won't
knowingly break it. Patches are of course still welcome.
thanks
